Hi Rasmus, thanks for that suggestion. It does indeed fix the column widths in this example. the reason it does this is becuase it means that the additonal 0 values added result in values for two adjacent columns.
so if adjacent columns are present the "correct" column width is maintained df[c(3,4),]%>%plot_ly( x = ~ x, y = ~ y, type = "bar")%>% layout(xaxis = list(range = c(0,20)), title = "adjcant x values get correct column width") however if there are not tow adjacent columns then the width increases df[c(3,5),]%>%plot_ly( x = ~ x, y = ~ y, type = "bar")%>% layout(xaxis = list(range = c(0,20)), title = "gap between x values column width changes") given this I'm still not sure why the single value example produces a correct column width. for now the generic work around is to pad with y=0 as you suggested.
